西方人说话直率在此类对话中更为明显。对于别人的打扰，自己受到不公平待遇会说出来，而不是不留面子。这里有分寸问题，通过说话人的口气与语调可判断其情绪与态度。英语中责备与抱怨的话通常有：

　　What on earth is the matter here?(到底发生了什么事?)

　　I'm afraid I have a complaint to make about the service.(我对你们的服务有意见。)

　　You ought to be ashamed of what you've done on me.(你应为你对我所做的事感到羞愧。)

　　Why on earth did you say such a silly thing to me?(你对我说这种蠢话究竟是什么意思?)

　　You've no right to help yourself.(你无权自己动手!)

　　I'm not a bit satisfied with such a result.(我对这样的结果一点也不满意!)

　　You ought to be careful enough next time.(你下次再不能这样粗心了。)

　　I got very annoyed about it.(我对此烦透了。)

　　Can't you be serious for once?(你就不能严肃一次?)

　　Don't interfere in my business, please.(请别干涉我的私事。)

　　It's no nice of you to behave like that.(你那样做太不像话。)

　　一般对责备与抱怨，人们通常的反应是表示抱歉与愿意接受。

　　请分析下面的对话：

　　A： You don't have to play the radio so loud, do you?

　　B： Oh，I'm really sorry about it

　　Q: What happened to the second man?
